[comp.os.minix] some questions about 1.5.10

Hi, I have some more questions:
1) Has anybody had luck with clam and minix 1.5.10? I just compiled it
(with ACK and C68) and in both cases had runtime errors: either bad
assertions from malloc or misalignment errors. I guess I have to apply
the posted patches to the library to use GCC and try again ...
2) I have problems using kermit (and zmodem) with the campus computer.
I think what is happening is that the network I tap into uses 7 bits
(at least somebody who is supposed to know told me that). If I use
kermit from TOS I don't have problems (but zmodem does), but I can't
transfer files when using MINIX. Is there a way of telling kermit to
use 7 bits instead of 8? And is that the solution to the problem?
Thanks in advance again!
